Why Programming is ALMOST Impossible in 2022

It appears as though programming has become ubiquitous; to the point where there is very little that can be characterized of an individual within the process. These times, it is not essential but highly qualitative for no single individual be concerned with the details of the systems and software being built. Through this, the systems become complex, to the point where no specific individual can be pointed to for the beauty and elegance and equally the "greatness" of a system in development. 

 A single programmer may in process qualify his works as great, but not so in the face of the total contributions of other minds. In this there is no knowledge, but lack of it; as individuals, lacking knowledge, act merely in ignorance typically following the purposes of others. The only objective view that can be assessed is one where the individual simply adds small fragments of work which when quantified with the equally small fragments of others, a whole is achieved. However, costly and not particularly interesting in the end. 

 An evolution takes place within this "system" as the work is not important within a few, only when they are considerably added together. The reasoning that programming is almost impossible, is primarily because any significantly useful system requires a certain amount of user and programmer contributions, often lead by business requirements and day-to-day needs. And these needs and business driven behaviors must all mesh with each other seemlessly. 

 You cannot create another Operating System like the one humbly ignorant Linus built in the 80s, such a system would be considered "throw-away" as a general concensus would dictate the system too young to be useful, even if the core concepts and technology make it "better" in some sense from current ones. No one programmer can do what is needed of an OS, today. Such a programmer must undergo the process of themselves merely contributing a small portion of a system feature, remaining ignorant to the whole and whose addition is nothing of wonder or award.
